A sad accident occurred neal Lake
Minnekaha yesterday. which was in part
due to the extreme aud unusual careless
ness of a boy some IL or Is years of age,
who resides south Of the railroad track.
Little Johnnie Ohnhaus, aged 6 years,
whose parents reside near the lake, was
out with some other children not far from
the lake at a point where are small trees
or bushes which would in part hide a per-
son. especially children, from view. The
boy alluded to came along in that vicinity
and commenced firing with an air gun, OF
which there are altogether too many in
Cheyenne, and one of the shots took eff
feet in the right foot o the child. Medi-
cal aid has been summoned, but according
to the latest accounts probing has not re-
suited in finding the missile.

Since Lusk has had an existence there
has been about as much trouble raised,
which had an origin In that little place,
as one often sees or hears of as emansting
from one little town. In addition to the
four alleged murderers 1.-TWO of them aces
series before the fact but punishable as
principally a couple of perjury cases
have come down from there, both of
them growing out of the Trumble murder
case, Edward Germs, who was tried at
the last term of court for being accessory
after the fact In the Trumble case, bnt
who was discharged, has been indicted for
perjury, along with Ketchum for some
thing they swore to on the trial of Germs
at the last term of court. They have
been arrested and we're brought to Chey
enne Thursday evening and incarcerated
in the county Jail where they now are, but
will probably be able to give bail to-day
or next Monday.

District Court.

In the district court yesterday there
was nothing of much importance to be
taken up, and aside from the ruling on
the Fisher fence indictment case, which
was the sensation of the day and is re-
ferred to elsewhere, there was out little
to note. In the case of Chandler vs.
Gage, which came up on a bill of excep.
tons from the Justice ofthe peace at Lusk,
j. G.. Pratt appeared in behalf of the
defendant and made an ingenious and
logical presentation of his side of the
case, and Judgment was rendered in favor
of his client. Mr.. Stoll, who represents
the other side, will move to have the case
.reopened to day.
In the case of the Territory of WYo-
ming VS.. Thomas Kane, a motion to
compel the prosecuting attorney to elect
as to which Of the two indictments he
will proceed on, ives argued by Col.
Miller 10 behalf of the defendant, and
sustained by the court.
A few matters were attended to, and
in the case of the United States VS.. G.,
w. Fisher ct al after ~the.ccurt had ruled
upon the motion to quash the indictment,
the defendants bondsmon were dis
charged, there being no reason why they
should be required to be present in court.
Court adjourned until 9 o'clock this
morning.

QUASH ED,
The Indictments I'm the United states
Fence Cases.

Chief Justice Maginnis made an i'm
portant ruling in the district court yester-
day, which closes out the fence prosecu-
cutions Tor the present term of court at
least. The ruling was made ON motions
to quash the two indictments against
Messrs. Fisher and Chadwick, the mo-
tons having been ably argued by John
A. Riner and United States Attorney A.
q. Campbell on Tuesday of the present
week. There were two or three questions
raised by tho motions, which the court
briefly referred to in announcing the
opinion, which was verbal, and one of
these questions was whether the laws of
congress make it a crime to fence gov
eminent lahd. The court said there was
no doubt in his mind upon that PROPOSE
ton. and held that the laws aforesaid
clearly makeit a crime. Passing to the
second proposition and the one almost
wholly relied upon by Mr.. Riner in his
argument in support of the motion, the
court said that the act of congress in
question forbids the fencing in or %enclos-
ing of government land to which the
person 50 fencing has no shadow or color
of title"
The question before the court was
whether there should be in the indictment
a negative allegation covering this point
and whether the indictments ought not to
state that the defendants had no such
claim or color of title to the land described
in the indictment.
Alter referring to the limitations con-
tanned in the law, the court said that if
the particular portion or part OF the law
describing the offense contained some
thing which required a negative allegation,
then such an allegation should be made
in the indictment. In these particular
cases the particular portion of the act OF
congress which provides that the person
fencing must be one who has no claim OF
color of title las it does in effect is but in
part a description of the o~ffense, ana there
being no allegation in the indictments
which cover the point they are therefore
bad and the motion to quash m ust be sus-
tanned.
Mr.. Campbell explained that in these
particular cases allegations such as have
been referred to could not well be made,
for the reason that on investigating the
matter he had ascertained that the de-
PENDANTS did have at least a color of title
to a large portion of the land in question,
but as there were several matters in con
nection with this law of congress that
ought to be judicially settled, he would
therefore save An exception (as he thought
by virtue of statutory enactment lnnovat-
ing of course upon the established rule
that the prosecution cannot appeaD in or
der that the question may be hereafter
determined by the superior court in case
he should care to carry it up for adiudica-
ton.

A Temperance Resort.

Geo. w. Mcconnell, assisted by his
wife, have started what might perhaps be
called a temperance saloon at the Union
Mercantile establishment on Ferguson
street, where remarkable fine coffee, rolls,
mullins, ETC., are to be had. 1t is not
certain as yet whether this is to be a per
manent thing, but it has long been the
desire Of many people in Cheyenne to
have something of this kind started and
it is to be hoped that this will be a per
manent institution.

A SUCCESSFUL DAY.
The Various Races at the Fair
Ground Yesterday.
Large Numbers In Attendance
Great Enthusiasm--The Record.

Yesterday was the greatest day Of the
three which have been devoted to the
June races" and at one time
and another during the after
1901 probably as many as 1000 people
were in attendance at the fair ground.
A violent thunder storm with a heavy
tall of rain threatened to break up the af-
ternoon's races, but after raging with con-
siderable violence for an hour or more,
the storm cleared away, and the latter
part of the afternoon was delightful SO
far as the weather was concerned, and the
track, which had become quite heavy on
account of the rain, dried off and its
condition was all thatcould be desired from
about $3.50 p. IN. until the close of the
races.
Although the races were called promptly
at 2 p. M, yet on account of the storm
they were much interfered with, and long
intervals occurred between the various
heats. One heat of the 2:35 class was
run while the storm was raging-though
not very violently at that time.
The first was a pacing race. the entries
being Denver. Ella S and Badger-the
race being won by Ella s. The record
was as follows.
First heat. Badger won. Ella s second,
Denver third Time, 2:364. Second
heat-EIla S won, Badger second, Denver
third. Time, 2:45. Third heat-ElIa
S won. Denver second. Badger third.
Time, 2:37a. Fourth heat-Ella s won,
Denver second, Badger third. Time, 2:35.
Next came the free for all trotting race.
mile heats, best three in five heats. the
entries being Black Diamond, Mcleod,
Wells Fargo and Carey Bell. The score
was as follows
First heat Mcleod won, Carey Bell
second, Black Diamond third, Wells Fargo
fourth. Time, 2:35. Second heat
Mcleod won, Carey Bell second, Black
Diamond third, Wells Fargo fourth. Time,
2:373. Third heat-McLeod won, Carey
Bell second, Black Diamond third, Wells
Fargo fourth. Time, 2;3l, giving Mcleod
the race.
Following this came the five-eighths of
a mile dash, running, all ages-Susie S
won, Lila Ferguson second, Countess third.
Time, l:04t, being within two and a half
seconds of the best time in five-eighths of
a mile, There was more enthusiasm over
this race than any that preceded it.
The concluding race of the afternoon
was a gentlemen's race. The following
were the entries:
Gaylad, b, g., Mr.. f. I. Iselin.
Climax, oh. e., Mr.. H. G, Fox.
Endebar, gr. g., Mr.. Sterling Birming-
ham.
Bashaw, oh. g., Nh. c. f. T. Wyndam
Quin.
De De, b. g., Mr.. A. Saportas.
Club, J. W. Whitmore.
The race was won in two half mile
heats by Endebar, Climax second, Bsshaw
third, the fourth and fifth places being, a
tie between Gaylad and De De and Club
last. Time, SGT and 57t.
This concluded the days racing, and
with it the season so far as the circuit
races are concerned for this point.
The races have proved a great success
in ever respect, and the Fair Association
and its officers are entitled to much credit
for the excellent manner in which they
have been conducted.

THE ALLEGED B. & o. SCOOP.

If, under existing laws, Jay Gould,
or any other powerful monied syndi-
cate can acquire and obtain absolute
CONTROL of the Geographic dispatches
of the country, and can exercise such
q dangerous one man power in such
a way as to manipulate or to depress
or exalt at pleasure, any one of the
great commercial and financial inter
ests of the country, such laws ought
not to remain on the statute book
one moment longer than they can be
changed. BY this means such col
losal fortune might DO piled up as
would jeopardise the liberties, nay
the very existence of the country.
And the inevitable result would fol-
low that the government would be
comp lied, as a measure of protection
to thepubli,, to establish government
Geographic lines wherever Mr..
Gould's lines went, and SO furnish
government competition sufficient to
break down Il Tremendous and dam
